Do you have a cellar?

[sprite75]

Yeah.  We use it for storage and as a workshop.  Since the house has been wired with a network the equipment is all down there.  We also have some exercise equipment down there too.  We have issues keeping it dry, even with a sump pump in the basement so we can't really use it as a rec room. 

We have an indoor turkey fryer now so at Thanksgiving I'm usually down there frying up a turkey before Thanksgiving dinner.  I'm thinking this year I'm going to get a 25 foot ethernet cable so that I can watch Turkey Day in the basement while the turkey is frying.  I used wireless last year but it didn't work too well.

I got a dirt fruit cellar. Stone and dirt walls and dirt floor with 2 real small rooms. One has the furnace, the other has shelves filled with old Mason Jars and crap.
You get down there by going outside the house-that's where the outside cellar door is.
The steps are old wood and steep.
It's dark. You have to feel your way down until you reach the basement door.
You reach your hand blindly in the dark-trying to find the light switch.
There it is!
There's my f**king bottle!

Serious-yeah. It is as  I said, execpt it doesn't scare me. We Store potatoes and apples down there. It's a good fruit cellar!
Put the basket of potatoes on the bottom steps of the cellar-where it's coldest. And apples too. Or onions or whatever.
You don't want them next to the furnace-mold up!
When you open the cellar door-put them on the steps-if it's an outside cellar.
If you got a cement basement, I don't know. Put them in the fridge, I suppose.






But in the dark....in the night....your fruit rots. Fruit flies eat the soft flesh of stinking brown apples.

Happy Halloween!

Nope, no cellar.  Just an apartment that someone decided leveling was for chumps and I have cock eyed doors and floorboards.

I spent most  of my life living in cheap apartments and trailers. It took me 40 years to own my own place, buddy.
You'll get there, man.

Many thanks my friend.  Encouragement and putting things in perspective always helps to remember life is full of change.

Nope-- got a crawlspace though, where I'd have to go to shut off the water.  Access is through my bedroom closet floor.  Rats have been there.

Currently, no.

My old apartment was in a renovated house.  It was a 3-story home that at one point got renovated into a 3-apartment unit.  Third floor was the smallest, second, medium.  My mom and I had the first floor, which had a front door and a backdoor, which was in the basement.  The basement was huge, had closet space, a second full bathroom, and the back half had storage/a washer and dryer.  So we had two bedrooms (basement was the second), plus 2 bath.  As a kid, I didn't utilize it much other than helping with laundry or needing to use the restroom if my mom or company were in the shower.  As I reached high school, it was mostly a workout/hangout area with friends.  Had a mini-gym in there, and enough space for a tv with video games wired up.

If you have a cellar how many bodies do you have buried in it?

[retrorussell]

Someone's in my fruit cellar!  Someone with a FRESH SOUL!!!
